the last time i was this early, the Nis werent planning yet

Intuitives: I think, therefore I am
Sensors: Since I doubt, I think; since I think, I exist

I find Ni a very difficult (if not the most difficult) cognitive function to explain. You did an amazing job!

[Lylantares]

These damn patterns are the reason why the husband and I cannot watch true mainstream movies nowadays. They are too predictable and therefore boring.
Also, using Ni as primary function is hard to describe, really. Sometimes you have an idea that is *so* abstract that you cannot find the right words to explain it. But you know that it must be right. It all makes sense in your head, but... you cannot simply project it into other people

My INTJ partner hates movies, so whenever I want to watch something with him, I "sell" it first by explaining all the hidden patterns in it and how they relate to his idea of reality. He doesn't know I do this on purpose (and it may be a bit manipulating) but it allows us to enjoy a good film together.

[Oana.t]

The way you explain things is fascinating.

I use symbolism, metaphors and analogies all the time while discussions. And OMG sometimes I can’t believe that people cannot see OBVIOUS connections. For me it’s jus a small jump between similarities and for them it’s like a chasm of differences.

[jaimiehorton]

I didn't realize until recently everyone couldn't see patterns everywhere and I always wondered why some people were so illogical about reoccurring events and predictions. MBTI is definitely helping me understand how sensors think. There's a lot we can learn from them too! Thanks for the interesting video 😊

One thing about being an Ni dominant is not respecting (or forgetting) about the physical world of "here and now". You're always in your head observing things, questioning and wondering about what, how, and why they are, until you find yourself skipped the morning and noon meals (yep, that's me 😅). It's like you're in your head thinking. Or space exploration, but everything happens inside the head. Most of the time, I find myself just staring blankly at a wall after an Ni time of visual creativity. Idk. It's like that. Haha 😅

IT Crowd: Trying to act like someone you are not results in even more awkwardness than just being your natural (awkward) self.

[mangoszki]

To this day, I wonder why the knights of Ni wanted another shrubbery, and wanted King Arthur to cut down a tree with a herring.

[kamrankerim]

because of Ni, I find lots of films having the same scenario, which makes me bored. I also use Ni in my academic life where I see the similar patterns between different concepts. This helps me understand the subject well. However sometimes I struggle to distinguish if I see the pattern for itself (Ne) or I have stored that pattern from my previous encounters unconsciously.

[payal]

So that's why I ponder over litertrature or anything that I read or watch even people through out their life, or the way they behave. I find myself naturally summarising different theories, concepts also I love making notes, taking out the very essence of everything can be helpful in puting that abstract theory or idea to a better way of using it.

Movie, The Matrix: a debate that reoccurs is Choice vs Causality, you have total freedom over your choices vs everything you do is an effect of a cause that is an effect of another cause and basically everything is a massive chain reaction, freedom vs no-freedom, being able to make your own future vs having one already decided for you (destiny). While these are two extreme stances, you can see this in everyday interactions. A choice you make, while having total freedom over it, also brings the effects of it (known and unknown) and you can end up being mostly in Causality. You can become trapped in the effects of your own choice for extended periods of time (bank loans is one good example, being highly in debt limits your freedom because you need to ensure a minimum income which means an impact on time and energy as well).

Back to the movie (spoiler alert), Neo choosing to break free from the Matrix sets a series of events (effects to his choice) that ultimately leads to the machine city and eliminating Agent Smith at the cost of his own life (presumably, it is not clear if Neo dies). What if Neo took the blue pill instead? He'd still be in the Matrix, yet still trapped in the effects of his choice. Regardless of the choice he makes he is still bound by what follows, you can say it's destiny, but at the same time, by having that choice, you can say you can choose your destiny which sounds paradoxical.

We are not free from choice, we are free to choose. If you don't choose, then you will eventually be left with only one option and in that case, the choice was made for you because you failed to do so in time. Even in that case, it was you who stripped away all your options by deciding not to choose. Even indecision is a decision. In this regard Causality is true, there is always a cause and effect, and at the same time Choice is true as well, we cannot choose for there not to be a cause, we ca decide which cause it is most of the time.

Thank you so much for always clarifying and emphasizing that personality typing models aren't the be-all end-all. So many people I explain MBTI to think personality models are trying to box in something that is so unbelievably nuanced, when in reality, it simply serves as a baseline. You da real goat bruh

I’ve only recently discovered this channel so I’d like to add something to the discussion. I’ve read a lot of comments from Ni users which said that „mainstream films are too predictable”, or boring, or obvious. While I agree, there is a concept within film studies, or film psychology, which says that understanding of the patterns we’re all spotting doesn’t necesarilly come from one’s intelligence but is rather related to „genre’s scheme” (I’m not sure about the translation though!!!). For example, when you’re watching a horror film, you can predict a jumpscare moment because of the scene’s setting, writing, lightning, etc. - not because you’ve seen a jumpscare before or because you’re a film genius. Cinema (especially commercial cinema) likes to give it’s viewers’ the impression that they’re smart - and what distinguishes „the aware viewer” from „the unaware viewer” (at least in theory) is that the latter is convinced that when they’re spotting a pattern it’s due to their own intelligence, while the primal knows that the pattern has already existed and is being shown to him intentionally.
It’s quite difficult for me to explain this concept the way I’d like to (especially since I’m speaking in my second language) but I thought that this film studies thesis actually reminds me of Ni a lot. It’s not just about „guessing” and „abstract thinking”, as many people like to describe it - it’s about being aware of the hidden meaning, the subtext, and due to knowing of it’s existance, it can also be discovered and analised.
Thank you for your wonderful content Nathan <3 Much love - an INFJ

You have a rare and pretty efficient way of explaining these things. You're cool man!

[daveb]

I find my Ti-Ni helps me contemplate ideas, narrowing down to a specific point, explanation or conclusion, if there happens to be one. - ISTP
